Libya war: #Feb17 Anti-Gadaffi rebels are the Libyan wing of the Ku Klux Klan [libyasos]
libyasos.blogspot.com/2011/07/anti-gadaffi-rebels-are-libyan-wing-of.html The Libyan rebels are the darlings of our media. They are described as seeking a parliamentary style democracy in Libya. Of course I would say the same if I wanted to overthrow my government but needed help from the West to do so. If it helped me gain weapons I would even tell them I want to have McDonalds, sweatshops and access to PlayboyTV in my country. Thus I do not consider these claims to be very reliable. But then who are the rebels, if they're not pro-democracy activists? It's very simple. They are the Libyan wing of the Ku Klux Klan. In the same manner that racism and religious extremism are a bigger problem in the Southern United States (No offense meant to my Southern readers), or in North-Western Pakistan, they're a bigger problem in Eastern Libya. Black men and women need to be aware of one thing. The media are not their friends. Al Jazeera raises racist sentiments amongst Libyan people by telling them that any black man found in Libya must be a mercenary imported by Muammar al-Gadaffi. Do they think for a moment about their responsibility? The American media claim to be concerned about human rights violations in Libya, but what about Ivory coast? What about Congo? The United Nations has reported on the rape of a 12 year old girl by rebels: Sudanese refugees arriving from eastern Libya at the Egyptian border told UNHCR that armed Libyans were going door to door, forcing sub-Saharan ...

Ivory Coast Marie Singleton
Gbagbo's Daughter: Pray for Parent's Safety The daughter of the deposed Ivory Coast president is requesting prayer for her country and the safety of her parents. Rumors surfaced earlier in the capital city of Abidjan that New Forces rebels removed Laurent Gbagbo and his wife Simone from the Golf Hotel and took them to the rebel-controlled northern region of the country. If true, that would not bode well for them. Allegationshave also been made that rebel troops have raped Simone Gbagbo. Marie (Gbagbo) Singleton says it's deja vu for her family. Her father, mother and brother were arrested by Alassane Quatarra when he was prime minister in 1992. She says Quatarra supporters beat her mother at that time and left her for dead. Ms. Singleton says this time, she's hired a team of lawyers to take legal action against Quatarra and his New Forces if they violate international law and her parent's rights. Meanwhile, The Associated Press reports Quatarra's rebels have committed some new atrocities against Gbagbo supporters. AP also says witnesses saw United Nation's peacekeepers burying bodies. I discuss the atrocities and other concerns about Ivory Coast in our exclusive interview with Ms. Singleton. Watch it here:

Ivory Coast: Ouattara loyal rebels have killed and raped hundreds (Human Rights Watch)
Reports of mass murders and rapes in villages. Hundreds have been killed by forces loyal to Ouattara, according to HRW's report. It found that summary executions of perceived Gbagbo supporters had taken place, and reported accounts of mass rape. Matt Wells, HRW's Ivory Coast researcher, said: "In village after village, Ouattara's forces terrorised civilians perceived as supporting Gbagbo, killing hundreds and raping dozens more. In committing to move Ivory Coast out of its longstanding crisis, Ouattara must ensure that the perpetrators of these heinous crimes are brought to justice." Source: www.guardian.co.uk

IMF Terrorist Ouattara and his rebels kill more than 800 People in 1 Day in Duekoue
Terrorist Ouattara and his rebels have committed unthinkable atrocities on civilians in Duekoue shortly after taking control of the town from Gbagbo's forces. About three weeks before the massacre, Obama generously gave away $12.6 millions of US tax payers to terrorist Ouattara so that terrorist Ouattara and his rebels could kill more people. They have been beheading, burning alive and killing people before the Duekoue massacre.
